About
Dr. Marcello Augello is a pioneering researcher in the field of maxillofacial and laser-assisted surgery, with a primary focus on the development and clinical translation of robotic laser osteotomy systems. His most significant contribution is his central role in advancing the Cold Ablation Robot-Guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO®), a groundbreaking technology designed to overcome the limitations of conventional rotating and piezoelectric bone-cutting instruments. Dr. Augello’s work has been instrumental in moving this system from bench to bedside, demonstrating its applicability and effectiveness through rigorous cadaveric and in vivo animal studies. His research has shown that the CARLO® system can perform complex procedures, such as partial mandibular resection and fibula free flap reconstruction, with high precision. Notably, his comparative studies have provided critical microstructural analysis of bone osteotomies, proving the laser’s superiority over traditional methods. With key papers accumulating over 45 and 39 citations, his work has laid the foundation for a new standard in surgical precision. Dr. Augello’s efforts are also extending into specialized applications, such as the osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP) procedure for corneal blindness, showcasing the versatile impact of his innovations on patient outcomes.
